I have left social media, but this should not deter you from freely and enthusiastically share my posts on yours. To make a difference, words need to be spread far and wide.

I wrote this book once.

I wrote it in the wake of surgeries, silence, and survival. I wrote it when I didn’t even know if I’d live long enough to finish it.

Now, 10 years later, I’m rewriting it—while living through another round of tests, uncertainty, and scans. My timing, as always, impeccable. To honour the process of going through it all again (both in terms of revisiting the cancer era of 2011-2015 and dealing with unknown abnormalities in my body now) I have deleted old chapters here.

ALL DAY isn’t just a cancer memoir. It’s about memory, misfits, misdiagnoses, miracles, and music. About people who showed up, and people who disappeared. About writing to stay, at least somewhat, sane.

I’m not the same woman who wrote the first draft.

I’ve walked further into life. And loss. And laughter.

This rewrite is messy and taxing. I’m not pretending it is not. But I want to bring you with me—fall into the cracks, chew on the raw bits, and rejoice in the unexpected grace.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing reflections, notes from the cutting room floor, thoughts on memoirs, and what happens when you try to make art out of something that still hurts like hell.

If you’re new here: welcome. If you’ve been following along for a while—thank you.

Here we go. Again.

While possibly still in pyjamas.

PS The rewrite of ALL DAY A GOOD DAY is the kick-off for a trilogy. It will be followed by “No Dogs No Gipsies: Tales of Transylvania”.
